Ma hope o hoʻokahi kakini leka uila me kekahi loea i ka mea hoʻolālā Chanel mea, a me ʻewalu hola o ka ʻōwili ʻana i nā haneli kiʻi ʻeke kālā, ʻaʻohe aʻu pane.
Ua hoʻouna aku au iā ia i nā kiʻi he 10 mai nā kihi ʻokoʻa, i hoʻonui ʻia a hoʻi i waho, o ka ʻeke Chanel na koʻu makuahine make.Ua loaʻa iaʻu i waena o kāna mau mea he ʻumi makahiki ma hope o kona make ʻana.
Ke ʻimi nei mākou i kahi hōʻailona "Made in Italy" a i ʻole "Made in France", ʻoiai ua ʻae ʻo ia me ka makahiki o ka ʻeke kālā hiki ke holoi ʻia.
"Pono ka Chanel embossing a ua kūlike ka ʻili me ka ʻili 'caviar'," i kākau ai ʻo ia."He ʻano maʻamau ke ʻano o ka ʻāpana vintage Chanel."
Ma kekahi wahi ma hope o ka heluhelu ʻana i kēlā me kēia pou ma kahi moʻomanaʻo puʻupuʻu e pili ana i ka makahiki 2012, ua ʻae wau ua neʻe koke ka mea i hoʻomaka i ka ʻimi ʻimi.Ke ʻike ʻole au i kekahi mea aʻu i ʻike ai, ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki ke ʻike ʻia, nahu ia iaʻu.Ke noiʻi nei au i nā ʻeke.ʻAʻole kēia he ʻeli i nā moʻolelo lehulehu a i ʻole nā moʻolelo ʻikepili e like me kaʻu i maʻa mau ai i koʻu kūlana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻolaha pāʻoihana, ʻo ia nā ʻeke lima hoʻolālā.Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hōʻoia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kaʻu mau ʻeke.
Ua hoʻomaka wau e kūʻai i ka hapa nui o kaʻu mau lole a me nā mea pono i ʻelua makahiki i hala aku nei no nā kumu he nui: ka hopena o ke kaiapuni, ka mālama kālā a me ka mahalo i nā mea kahiko, maikaʻi ma kahi o ke ʻano hana wikiwiki.I kēia manawa, ke ʻike nei au i nā pōʻino o ka lilo ʻana i hound vintage a me ka mea hoʻolimalima pinepine.
Me ke ʻano o ka lilo ʻana o nā mea kahiko "i loko", ʻōlelo ka poʻe hōʻoia loea i ka piʻi ʻana o nā ʻeke kahiko.ʻO kahi nalu hou o nā mea hoʻopunipuni maikaʻi loa ua kapa ʻia lākou he "superfakes."Inā ʻaʻole lawa ka pupule, e lana mau ana nā dupes maikaʻi mai 30 mau makahiki aku nei.
ʻAʻole hiki i nā ʻeke ʻelua Dooney & Bourke ma mua o ka makahiki 2000 he hoʻopunipuni wale nō - pēlā nō hoʻi e hiki ai i ka ʻeke Chanel kahiko aʻu i manaʻo ai e lilo i hoʻoilina ʻohana.
ʻAʻole pilikia hou nā ʻeke hoʻopunipuni.Akā me ka piʻi ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana i ka lua, ke ulu nei nā ʻeke hoʻopunipuni ʻaʻole wale ma Goodwills a me nā boutiques, akā ma nā pūnaewele hoʻoili waiwai hoʻi, e like me ka RealReal, e hoʻohiki nei i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
ʻO ka RealReal, ka mea i hele i ka lehulehu i ke kauwela i kūʻai ʻia ma kahi o $ 2.5 biliona, ua ʻike ʻia e kūʻai aku i nā waiwai hoʻopunipuni ma nā kumukūʻai premium, e like me ʻelua mau hōʻike hou mai Forbes a me CNBC.ʻO nā mea - hoʻokahi, kahi ʻeke Christian Dior hoʻopunipuni i kūʻai ʻia ma $3,600 - ua paheʻe i nā loea o ka pūnaewele.
ʻO ka pilikia?ʻO kekahi mau mea hōʻoia RealReal, e like me kēlā mau hōʻike, ua aʻo ʻia i ke kākau kope e pili ana i ke ʻano ma mua o ka hōʻoia ʻana i nā mea hoʻolālā.Me he mea lā, ʻaʻole lawa ka poʻe loea maoli e hoʻokele i ka waihona waiwai nui i loaʻa iā RealReal i ka wā i loaʻa ai ka kaulana.
Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia brand mea hoʻolālā kāna ʻōlelo ponoʻī, kāna mau ʻano ponoʻī.ʻO kaʻu mau ʻeke ʻelua a me ka ʻeke?ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā lākou nā hōʻailona o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ka poʻe paʻi puke ʻeke kālā (he nui nā mea paʻi puke ʻeke kālā) e haʻi iā ʻoe e ʻimi mua: nā hōʻailona humuhumu a me nā helu serial.Akā ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻamau me nā mea vintage.
ʻO ia ka mea i alakaʻi iaʻu e leka uila iā Jill Sadowsky, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele i kahi ʻoihana hoʻoili waiwai pūnaewele-wale nō mai Jacksonville, JillsConsignment.com.ʻO ia koʻu loea Chanel.
"He paʻakikī ke aʻo ʻana i kēia mea," i ʻōlelo mai ai ʻo Sadowsky iaʻu ma ke kelepona.“He mau makahiki o ka ʻike.Pono ʻoe e ʻike he pololei ke ʻano font, he aha ke code lā, inā pololei ka hologram.
ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hōʻoia i kaʻu mau ʻeke i hōʻike mai iaʻu i ka pilikia e kū nei i nā hana lua.Pehea ʻoe e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i kahi limahana e aʻo, wikiwiki, he aha ka mea i lawe ʻia e nā poʻe loea i nā makahiki he nui?
Ma hope o hoʻokahi pule e heluhelu ana i kēlā me kēia ʻaha kūkā, ʻatikala a me ka pou blog i loaʻa iaʻu, ʻike wau ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoholo inā he maoli kaʻu mau mea hoʻolālā punahele.Ua inaina au i ka manaʻo e hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa nā kikeke kiʻekiʻe e humuhumu ʻia e ka poʻe paʻahana keiki ma nā hale kūʻai hou.
Ua kūʻai au i kaʻu Dooney & Bourke mua i kēia ʻOkakopa i loko o kahi hale kūʻai kūʻai ʻo Atlanta.Ua hōʻike ʻia kona mau makahiki, akā he $25 wale nō ke kumu kūʻai iaʻu.ʻO ka lua, ua loaʻa iaʻu ma kahi Plato's Closet ma ka Pōʻalima ʻeleʻele, ʻaʻole ia kahi wahi maʻamau e loaʻa ai kahi ʻeke ʻeke waina.Akā ua hoʻi mai nā makahiki 90 i kēia manawa, a he mea hou ke ʻeke.ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke waiho wale i laila.
I ka manawa aʻu i hoʻokele ai i ka home, ua maopopo iaʻu ua hoʻopau wau i kaʻu kālā.He mea hou loa ka ʻeke no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻia ka lā i ka 1990s mua.A he aha kaʻu i maopopo ai i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻeke ʻeleʻele aʻu i ʻohi ai i ka mahina ma mua ma Atlanta?Hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku he ʻili maoli lāua, akā ʻaʻole lawa kēlā.
Ua ʻimi au i nā kiʻi e hoʻohālikelike ai i kaʻu ʻeke.Akā ʻaʻole hoʻolaha nā mea hoʻolālā i nā backlogs o kā lākou ʻeke kahiko a i ʻole nā alakaʻi hōʻoia, no ka mea hiki i nā mea hoʻopunipuni ke hoʻohana iā lākou e hoʻomau i ka maikaʻi.
ʻO JoAnna Mertz, he mea kūʻai kūʻai mai Missouri a me Dooney & Bourke loea, hilinaʻi i kāna hōʻiliʻili pilikino o nā papa inoa paʻi e uhi ana i nā makahiki he mau ʻeke ʻili ʻili o ka brand.ʻO kekahi, ua uku ʻo ia i mau haneli kālā e loaʻa ai.Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i mau makahiki i ke aʻo ʻana i ke kālepa mai kahi limahana kahiko ʻo Dooney.
He mea maʻamau no ka mea hōʻoiaʻiʻo he loea maoli wale nō i hoʻokahi, a i ʻole kekahi, nā mea hoʻolālā hana - ʻaʻole lākou a pau.Maikaʻi no nā hōʻailona hoʻoilina i puni no nā makahiki he nui, e hoʻololi mau i ke ʻano, nā lako, nā hōʻailona, nā hōʻailona, nā peʻa a me nā mea hoʻopili.Nui ka ʻike e hōʻiliʻili ai.
"Pono wau e ʻike i kahi kiʻi a ʻike koke wau," wahi a Mertz."He mau kāne wale nō ka mea i hoʻopunipuni iaʻu."
I kēlā me kēia pule e komo ka poʻe i ka pūnaewele o Mertz - VintageDooney.Com - a leka uila iā ia me ka hopohopo.(Hāʻawi ʻo ia i kāna lawelawe no kekahi mau kālā.) ʻO ka manawa pinepine, pono ʻo ia e haʻi i ka nūhou: E kala mai, ua huki ʻia ʻoe.Hana maʻalahi ʻo Mertz i ke kaʻina hana.Akā eia ke kumu ʻaʻole ia.
Ua humuhumu ʻia nā hōʻailona ma kaʻu ʻeke, ʻaʻole i hoʻopili ʻia ma nā ʻeke ʻelua - maikaʻi.ʻO ka humuhumu ʻana ʻo ia ka malu o ka melemele, maikaʻi nō hoʻi.Akā ʻo ka ʻeke ʻeleʻele i loaʻa i kahi zipa keleawe e ka brand "YKK".Loaʻa ka hapa nui o Dooney i nā zippers mai ka inoa Italia "RIRI."ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ka ʻeke ʻeleʻele kahi hōʻailona humuhumu me kahi helu serial, i ʻōlelo ʻia e nā blog iaʻu ʻaʻole maikaʻi.Ua ʻoki ʻia ka ʻeke ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kāna hōʻailona helu serial, a waiho wale i nā kaula liʻiliʻi ma hope.
Hiki i ka lako o ka ʻeke ke kī i kēia kaʻina hana.Ua hoʻoholo wau he mea hoʻopunipuni maikaʻi loa kaʻu ʻeke ʻeleʻele mai nā makahiki 80 a i ʻole 90 no ka mea ʻaʻohe ona ʻeke ʻItalia.Me ke ʻano hou o ka nānā ʻana o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ua hoʻoholo wau he kīkē hou paha ia o kahi hoʻolālā vintage.
Ua hoʻonohonoho pololei ʻo Mertz iaʻu: He ʻoiaʻiʻo lāua ʻelua, a ʻo lāua ʻelua mau ʻeke mua mai ka hopena o 80s a i ʻole 90s mua.No laila, no ke aha ka like ʻole o ka mea aʻu i ʻike ai ma nā ʻaha kūkā kālā?ʻAʻole ia he hewa lākou - ʻo ia wale nō ka nui o nā mea hoʻololi.
Ua hana mua ʻia ka ʻeke ʻeleʻele, ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Dooney i nā hōʻailona humuhumu me nā helu.ʻOiai ʻaʻole maʻamau ka zipper "YKK", ua hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka ʻeke aʻu i loaʻa ai.ʻO ka ʻeke ʻōmaʻomaʻo?ʻO kona mau hiʻohiʻona hou he hōʻike wale nō ia i ka maikaʻi o ka paʻa ʻana o nā ʻeke ʻili o ka wā āpau a Dooney.Ua ʻoki ʻia ka tag no ka mea, i ka makahiki 1990, ua ʻoki ʻo Dooney i nā helu serial mai nā ʻeke i manaʻo ʻia he mau hemahema liʻiliʻi.E kūʻai ʻia kēlā mau ʻeke ma ke kumu kūʻai ma nā hale kūʻai.
Akā, hoʻohana ka poʻe hoʻopunipuni i kēlā puʻupuʻu o Dooney i hala a ʻokiʻoki i kā lākou mau inoa ponoʻī i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻolilo i kā lākou mea hoʻopunipuni ma ke ʻano he ʻeke puka.ʻOiaʻiʻo, huhū kēia kaʻina hana.Loaʻa i kekahi mau mea hoʻopunipuni nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi e pono ai ka ʻeke e ʻoiaʻiʻo: nā hōʻailona, nā helu serial, nā peʻa, nā kāleka ʻoiaʻiʻo - a he hoʻopunipuni maoli nō, i kekahi manawa he hoʻolālā i hana ʻole ʻia e ka brand.
ʻIke au i ka hoʻopunipuni pinepine ʻana o nā mea Chanel.ʻAʻole maʻalahi nā Dooney's, akā ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana ma mua o nā hōʻailona kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o $200 a $300 hou.Ma Chanel, hiki i kahi ʻeke liʻiliʻi ke holo iā ʻoe i $900.
I koʻu ʻike mua ʻana i ka ʻili palupalu o koʻu makuahine, manaʻo wau he mea maoli kēia.Koe naʻe, ʻoi aku koʻu makuahine i ke ʻano Mickey-Mouse-overalls ma mua o ke ʻano $900-luxury-wallet.ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi o koʻu ʻohana ke haʻi mai iaʻu pehea i loaʻa ai iā ia.Manaʻo koʻu makuakāne i ka wā o kahi huakaʻi hoʻohālike āna i lawe ai i New York City ma kahi o ʻelua mau makahiki ma mua o kona lilo ʻana i makuahine ʻaʻole loa e hoʻopuka i nā haneli kālā no kahi ʻeke.
E like me koʻu makuahine, ua hoʻopaʻa au iā ia me ka ʻeleʻele, hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi pahu pahu ʻeleʻele me "CHANEL" i nā leka keʻokeʻo wiwo ʻole ma luna.I kekahi manawa lawe au ia mea e hoʻohana ma ke ʻano he paʻa no ka male ʻana.Ua hōʻike au iā ia ma kaʻu mau keiki liʻiliʻi a kiʻekiʻe.
Akā ʻo koʻu manaʻo nui e ʻike inā ua kahe maoli kaʻu mau ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hiki i lalo o ka ʻeke Chanel.He hoopunipuni maikai anei keia?
"E ʻae wau," i haʻi mai ʻo Sadowsky iaʻu ma ke kelepona."Ua hoʻopilikia maoli ia iaʻu a hiki i ka mīkini."
I ka nānā ʻana i kēlā me kēia kenimika o ka ʻeke kālā e ʻike i nā hōʻailona, ua ʻike au ma kahi kahakaha liʻiliʻi ma ka pā paʻi, nā huaʻōlelo "Juen Bang."Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sadowsky iaʻu, ʻaʻole i hoʻohana ʻo Chanel.
Eia hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻoiai ʻo ka huki ʻana o ka zipper Chanel-logo gula i pololei, ʻaʻole kūpono nā loulou e hoʻopaʻa iā lākou i ka zipper no ka brand.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, no laila, ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo ka ʻeke.Akā, ʻaʻole ia he mea hoʻopunipuni loa.ʻO ka ʻili, ka lining, ke ʻano a me ka humuhumu ʻana i like me ka Chanel maoli.
Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sadowsky iaʻu aia ʻelua mau hiʻohiʻona: ua hoʻololi ʻia ka ʻeke kālā i kāna lako i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻomaikaʻi hou iā ia, a i ʻole ua wehe ʻia ka ʻeke kālā no nā ʻāpana.ʻO ia hoʻi, ua hiki i kekahi ke wehe i ka Chanel logo zipper-huki e hoʻohana ma luna o kahi ʻeke hoʻopunipuni e kōkua iā ia e hele maoli.
ʻIke ʻia ʻo wau ka mea nona kekahi ʻeke kālā inbetweenie Frankenstein, ka mea e like me ka hopena kūpono loa, ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu loa i kēia huakaʻi luhi.
